I like to use this recipe for chicken strips.
6 boneless skinless chicken pieces
1/2 evaporated milk
1 cup cornflakes crushed
garlic salt, pepper, any seasoning you like here is good
butter
Spray baking sheet with non stick spray. Place 6 pats of butter on baking sheet. Dip chicken pieces first in evaporated milk, then in corn flake crumbs mixed with seasonings. Place each on a butter pat. Place another pat of butter on top of each peice. Bake for 30 minutes at 350. Enjoy! Dip into your favorite sauce.

Jello Cake
Jello Cake- One of our favorites!
1 yellow or white cake mix
1 small Jello (any flavor)-I like strawberry
1/2 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup water
1 (8 oz.) Cool Whip
Make cake and let it cool. Make Jello using only 3/4 cup of water to dissolve and 3/4 cup cold water. Poke holes in the cake using a straw or fork (about every 2 inches). Pour Jello on cake and refrigerate for 2 hours. Mix pudding with water and refrigerate 1/2 hour. Mix Cool Whip into pudding and spread on top of cake. Serve or store in fridge in covered container until ready to serve.
*you can also make this without the pudding mix and just top with cool whip and strawberries. It's good both ways

2 tomatillos (tomato like vegetable with a husk around them)
½ bunch of cilantro

4 t garlic –minced
½ bunch cilantro

Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa-Amie's Fav

6oz red taco sauce
1t. Dry mustard
1t. Cumin
1/2 t. Salt & Pepper
START THIS IN THE MORNING (or night before)
Cook the pork for about 8 hours then Place ingredients in the blender and then pour over pork loin in crock pot. Cook low additional 3 hours hours and then shred- cook another hour.

3 c water
4 t chicken bouillon

1 can green chiles—or equivalent fresh
¾ t salt
1 T butter
½ onion
3 c rice (see note)
Blend cilantro, green chiles and onion together in food processor. Bring water to a boil and add all ingredients, simmer covered 30 minutes.
Now Put it together
- Tortilla – you can make your own, mine came from a package.
- Cheese -it is a good idea to warm these two up so the cheese is a little melty.
- Beans – black or pinto (mine came straight out of the can, warmed in the microwave with a little garlic powder and green Tabasco sauce).
- Rice – don’t be stingy now!
- Pork - I am actually salivating while writing this post…
- Lettuce – Shredded Romaine, you want small enough pieces to get a little of everything on your fork
- Pico de Gallo – I like extra pico, so I give myself an extra scoop.
- Tortilla Strips – slice a corn tortilla into strips, brush with olive oil and salt and pepper and bake on a foil-covered sheet for 15-20 minutes at 350-ish.
- Creamy Tomatillo Dressing – I like to keep mine on the side so my lettuce doesn’t get too slobbery.
- This is really best served with a cold Dr. Pepper with a few slices of lime squeezed into it, but if that seems like Dr. Pepper overload, your beverage of choice will probably be fine.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
These are quick and easy to get done in a hurry before kids come home from school.

1 tsp. Vanilla2 Eggs (2 T. dehydrated eggs + 1/4 C. Water)

German Pancakes
Pop Up Pancake Recipe - makes 24 muffins or fills a 9×13 baking pan
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
dash salt
Preheat oven at 400*
I like to blend all the ingredients in my blender. I have tried to whisk it or even use the electic mixer, but it seems to get the most smooth with a blender. Then grease your muffin tins or baking pan. Bake them for 15 minutes, or until puffy and golden on top. Use a knife to pry them out, hopefully they were greased well enough and should pop right out.
